Footage shows Yáñez’s annoyance turn to violence as journalist Paco Fuentes of “El Gordo y La Flaca” reportedly pressed the actor Tuesday about a GoFundMe page his son posted to pay for car repairs instead of getting the money from his dad.

Yáñez told Fuentes he was being disrespectful and struck him hard across the face.

The actor took to Twitter Thursday to apologize for his actions, adding that his “personal life wasn’t for sale.”

Reporter Lupita Herrera, a witness, told CBS she had asked Yáñez a similar question about his son beforehand and got a tense response. But she didn’t expect any interview to turn physical at the event for the Spanish-language streaming service Pantaya. “I was in shock,” she said, “I didn’t know what to do.”
